Sailing holidays vs. land-based holidays has for long been subject of discussion. Traditionally, land-based holidays have been the preferred choice for most families and groups seeking an enriching adventure somewhere outside their homeland. Comfort has been a key factor in this decision and probably the main reason that kept adventurers and adventures such as sailing holidays out of the range of possible holidays.
That was back when catamarans were not available!
With the appearance of large boats like our catamarans in San Blas, and unlike other smaller and for the most part cramped sailboats like monohulls, our catamarans are more like floating homes with all the comfort you will need for your sailing vacation. A fantastic way to spend a holiday in the Caribbean has been born. We have discussed this matter in a previous post.
